merv griffin, an icon

I was saddened to hear that Merv Griffin, 82 years lost his battle with prostate cancer today. The man was a legend and an icon who’s focus and out-of-the-box thinking formed what game show TV is and talk shows. Ever heard of a couple of game shows: Jeopardy! or Wheel of Fortune? He created those.

Still I remember watching his talk show when I was a kid with my Mom (totally just dated myself). I remember he was funny, classy and had a great singing voice.
